QvWorkRoot
Returns the root directory of the current QlikView document. A system-defined variable.
StripComments
If this variable is set to 0, stripping of /*..*/ and // comments in the script will be inhibited. Certain database
drivers using /*..*/ comments for defining hints in select statements may otherwise cause script errors. It is
recommended that this variable be reset to 1 immediately after the statement(s) where it is needed. If this variable
is not defined, stripping of comments will always be performed.
Example:
Verbatim
set StripComments=0;
Normally all field values are automatically stripped of preceding and succeeding blank characters (ASCII 32)
before being loaded into the QlikView database. Setting this variable to 1 suspends the stripping of blank
characters.
Example:
set Verbatim = 1;
OpenUrlTimeout
This variable defines the timeout in seconds that QlikView should respect when getting data from URL
sources (e.g. HTML pages). If omitted the timeout is about 20 minutes.
Example:
WinPath
set OpenUrlTimeout=10
Returns the browse string to Windows. A system-defined variable.
WinRoot
Returns the root directory of Windows. A system-defined variable.
Value Handling Variables
NullDisplay
The defined symbol will substitute all NULL values from ODBC on the lowest level of data. A user-defined
variable.
Example:
set NullDisplay='';
NullInterpret
The defined symbol will when it occurs in a text file, Excel file or an inline statement be interpreted as
NULL. A user-defined variable.
